Exclusive Clips

When Cate Blanchett asks you if you’d like to join her on a trip, you say yes. And if you’re a young woman in 1952 who’s just becoming aware of her attraction to a woman, that goes double.

In this exclusive clip from Carol, we meet Carol Aird (Blanchett), a wealthy housewife in the midst of a divorce, and Therese Belivet (Rooney Mara), a shopgirl with ambition but a lot of uncertainty about her future. At this point in the film they’ve already begun the flirtation that will change both of their lives, but the road trip Carol has just suggested will bring things to a new level.

Carol, directed by Todd Haynes, has earned rave reviews ever since its premiere at Cannes earlier this year, and recently earned more Independent Spirit Award nominations than any other film. It’s in theaters now.
